Back in 2005 Cornyn mused how violence against "activist judges" was understandable ("great distress

Sen. John Cornyn said yesterday that recent examples of courthouse violence may be linked to public anger over judges who make politically charged decisions without being held accountable.

In a Senate floor speech in which he sharply criticized a recent Supreme Court ruling on the death penalty, Cornyn (R-Tex.) -- a former Texas Supreme Court justice and member of the Judiciary Committee -- said Americans are growing increasingly frustrated by what he describes as activist jurists.

"It causes a lot of people, including me, great distress to see judges use the authority that they have been given to make raw political or ideological decisions," he said. Sometimes, he said, "the Supreme Court has taken on this role as a policymaker rather than an enforcer of political decisions made by elected representatives of the people."

Cornyn continued: "I don't know if there is a cause-and-effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. . . . And I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters, on some occasions, where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in, engage in violence. Certainly without any justification, but a concern that I have."

US Supreme Court public information line 202 479 3211

I asked why the... ahem....."leak".... was being investigated by the Marshals, but not psychotic, caught-red-handed, insurrectionist Ginni Thomas.

Has Sinema announced her position yet on Judge KBJ? What's she waiting for?

Every day she goes without an announcement is an insult to the Judge.

Makes me think she is savoring a last-minute no vote.

Garland seems determined to be obstinate-the more people tell him to act, the less he will

Like he's proving a point.

And I don't care for his pissy mansplaining lectures to us about "following the facts."

He's on a wrong-headed crusade thinking that giving trump impunity to commit all crimes proves the Justice Department is neutral.
